Description
Thirteen tales from the universe of the bestselling Sun Eater series, compiled for the first time. Plus, a never-before-seen novelette following Hadrian Marlowe after the series' conclusion!
Ambitious universe-building combines with intimate character portraits for storytelling on a truly epic scale - for fans of Orson Scott Card, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Patrick Rothfuss, and Jack Campbell.
A green soldier faces an inhuman enemy. A machine attempts to kill her makers for daring to bring her into this world. On Delos, Crispin Marlowe must face his brother's growing legend - and the small part he played in shaping it. In the far future, an ordinary soldier comes face-to-face with a god older than time. An enemy long thought dead attacks the future from the past, and on the Planet of Fire, an old hero must kill to save his unborn daughter and prevent a war that could shatter several worlds.
Here are songs of the noon of mankind, set in an age when humanity's dominion stretches far across the stars: an age of struggle, of great evil, and of still greater good. Here, too, are songs of a man who changed the face and future of the galaxy entire: Songs of the Sun Eater, of Hadrian Marlowe himself.

PRAISE FOR THE SUN EATER SERIES:
'Space opera fans will savor the rich details... Readers who like a slow-building story with a strong character focus will find everything they're looking for' -Publishers Weekly
'With the scope of Dune and a confessional, first-person voice that puts us into the mind of a possible madman, this is space opera at its most riveting and grandiose' -B&N Book Review
'A craftsman of rare ability, Christopher Ruocchio lures you into a future filled with danger, action, irony, vaulting prose, and a few precious dollops of hope.' -David Brin
'Science fiction at its most genuinely epic. Ruocchio has made something fascinating here, and I can't wait to see what he does next.' -James S. A. Corey, New York Times-bestselling author of The Expanse novels
'Epic-scale space opera in the tradition of Iain M. Banks and Frank Herbert's Dune, without being a clone of either of them. His is a welcome new voice in science fiction.' -Eric Flint
'A rich tapestry of future history and worldbuilding, a galactic-sized story of a hero, a tyrant, but portrayed as a man.' -Kevin J. Anderson
'Packs in action and erudition in equal measure. This is a gripping first installment in a space opera that delivers both high-adrenaline thrills and hard-earned wisdom about the human spirit.' -D.J. Butler
'A richly imagined epic, briskly and vividly told.' -R.M. Meluch
'This wow book is a must for fans of Pierce Brown and Patrick Rothfuss."Library Journal (starred review)
